Scary movie

The indie horror movie "The Ladies of the House," which was directed by Florida State University alum John Stuart Wildman, got rained out of its Tallahassee premiere in mid-July. So the Tallahassee Film Festival and FAME have rescheduled the "Ladies" debut in Tallahassee for 9 p.m. Saturday at All Saints Hop Yard, 456 All Saints St. The rowdy, all-female band Desgraciadas will warm up the crowd starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 and $4 at the gate. It is not rated but it contains lots of profanity, blood and gore. Bring folding chairs, blankets and mosquito repellent.

SATURDAY

Student films

See what the next generation of filmmakers have on their minds when the Florida State University film school presents two different sets of MFA Thesis Screenings at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday in the Ruby Diamond Concert Hall. The short films rang from a racial drama to a post-apocalyptic tale to director Rebecca Radford's whimsical "Gnome and Garden" (shown here), about an egotistic garden gnome who is kidnapped by a housewife. Admission is free and open to the public but you may want to arrive early to get a good seat. The student-made short movies are not rated but do contain profanity, violence and adult situations.

SATURDAY

TRIVIA TIME

ANSWER OF THE WEEK

Last week, we were talking about the novelist Thomas Berger, who died in July. Berger is best known for his book "Little Big Man," which was turned into a ground-breaking Western on the big screen. We wanted to know which actor or actress was NOT in the cast of the movie: Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Richard Mulligan, William Hickey, M. Emmet Walsh, Will Sampson or Martin Balsam? Sampson ("One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") was not in "Big Man."

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

We are looking forward to seeing the director Richard Linklater's "Boyhood," which opens in Tallahassee on Aug. 15. Which of the following is NOT a Linklater movie: "Slacker" (1991), "Dazed and Confused" (1993), "The Newton Boys" (1998), "School of Rock" (2003), "Bad News Bears" (2005), "3:10 To Yuma" (2007) or "Bernie" (2011)?
